What’s Your Definition of Love?

How do you define love? Is it patience, kindness and understanding?

How do you show it? How do you receive it?

Unfortunately, love isn’t black and white or one size fits all. How one person shows or receives love can be very different from the next.♥️

A few months ago I took the 5 Love Languages quiz– https://5lovelanguages.com. Took it twice and a similar quiz, and the results were the same. My primary love language is Quality Time followed by Words of Affirmation. If you haven’t taken the quiz, you really should. It’s pretty interesting.

Stay Afloat

They say it’s not the water around the boat that sinks it, but the water that gets inside. My prayer for you today is that the water – drama, chaos, dysfunction, bad vibes – remains outside your boat. The goal is to protect your mental health. Stay Afloat!♥️ ~ Shaun

Wednesday Writings

This morning I’m singing —

Hold on – just a little while longer
Hold on – just a little while longer
Hold on – just a little while longer
Everything will be alright

Pray on – just a little while longer
Pray on – just a little while longer
Pray on – just a little while longer
Everything will be alright

God is working and I’m holding on. I know better days are ahead. This time I’m going to cherish them a little bit more. Smiling

By the way, the premiere of Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 5 is tonight! Y’all know I get excited about Sistas. It would be so awesome if I could watch and chat from the comfort of my home. Remaining hopeful.

Well, that’s all I have for you today. Please enjoy your Wednesday!

Facing Fears

The only way to overcome a fear is to face it head on. Avoiding it will not make it disappear.

Are there fears you’ve been reluctant to face?

I definitely have a few. I believe it’s time to become intentional about facing them. Hope you’ll do the same.♥️ ~ Shaun

Today would have been my brother’s 49th birthday. Y’all, I just knew we would grow old together. Happy heavenly birthday, Rell.♥️ October 5, 1973 – October 19, 2019

Here’s what I shared on that day three years ago (October 5, 2019) –

Facebook Memory: October 5, 2019

Second message this week about everything happens for a reason. So I must make it today’s social media find. Rest assured God’s got you. He already has everything worked out. Just trust Him. Believe me, I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s something we must learn to do. Y’all have a blessed day.🙏🏽♥️

This was in response to a post made by TV ONE – “Laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself everything happens for a reason.”

That week, my emotions were all over the place. My anxiety level was like a ten. You know how you can feel something about to happen but can’t pinpoint what? I remember being so anxious that entire day, and the days that followed, were even worse. Didn’t know I would actually laugh at the confusion. Not really. Smile through the tear. Boy did I do a lot of crying, but of course I kept smiling. One thing that I couldn’t seem to do was focus on the “everything happens for a reason” part. HA! One thing I forgot to do was take my own advice and trust that God knew what He was doing. Honestly, I’m still confused about that part. Only God knows the lessons and reasons behind everything that happened.

Yeah.. October 2019 was a month I truly wanted to forget. Hands down, it was one of the worst months of my life. Y’all, I honestly didn’t think I could see another October and not feel some kind of way. I’m so thankful time takes away the sting. That God loves us enough to make sure we heal from pain.
